Bailee just turned one, and we too went through a 'terrible two' phase. However, it comes and goes and he is currently a real sweet boy.
As for the potty pads, I use washable ones from YT member "107barney"
~ T. Bumpkins & Co. Not only are they durable, but they are also cute. You can get colors to match any decor. We started with the disposable ones. Bailee shredded them immediately. These are great!
